Picked up these two bikes. They both need signifiant work, especially the 5 speed. (They look better in the pictures that in person)

I know the vintage 5-speed stingrays are worth quite a bit. (Found this project bike sold for $200)

However, I cannot find any examples of these bikes. Could use some help estimating a value.

Yellow one looks like a lemon peeler knockoff.
